On September 11 1988, Madonna participated in the Sport Aid 88: The Race Against Time marathon in New York.
“We can make future generations look back on this decade, and remember us as the generation who began to shape a world in which children enjoy a future free from hunger and pain. Please join the Race Against Time and help CARE and Sport Aid make a difference in a hungry child’s life.” – Madonna

Great humanitarian from the start. Perhaps she really is and “Angel” 🙂
